Hi list, since i've updated to vdr-1.3.37 i hava a problem starting plugins with a command line option in runvdr like this:
... VDRUSR=root DVBDIR="/usr/local/src/DVB/driver" VDRPRG="/usr/local/src/VDR/vdr" VDRCMD="$VDRPRG -u $VDRUSR -w 60 -t /dev/tty8 -L /usr/local/src/VDR/PLUGINS/lib -c /usr/local/vdr/etc $* \ -s /usr/local/bin/vdrshutdown \ -P 'osdteletext -r' \ -P 'osdimage --directory /video/screenshots' "
...
while (true) do $VDRCMD ...
vdr doesn't start with this runvdr. Plugins without single quotation '' e.g. -P osdteletext work here. Changing the start command in the while-loop from $VDRCMD into the old su $VDRUSR -c "$VDRCMD" like
...
while (true) do su $VDRUSR -c "$VDRCMD" ...
and all plugins work as before including the command line options in single quota.
- Has someone tested a plugin with command line options with the new runvdr from 1.3.37+ ??? - Or is this a rights problem ?
Regards, Christoph

This is a shell quoting problem. I'm currently not aware of any way to let bash do another round of 'quote' parameter grouping inside $VDRCMD, variants like "..." and '...' also don't work.
The easiest way to fix this (if you don't want to use su root -c "$VDRCMD") is to use eval instead:
while (true) do eval "$VDRCMD"
Cheers,
Udo
